Secret | The basics Hearthstone Guide

Last update: 07 September 2016

Secret is a special ability of the spell cards. After you use it, it is put aside and the question mark appears on the hero's portrait. The opponent is then informed that the Secret ability has been used but, not which card was it and what its effects are. These effects activate when a certain condition is met, e.g. the opponent plays a card, or the attack on the hero. The only classes that have cards with this ability re the Mage, the Hunter and the Paladin. This ability acts like an immediate spell and that is why it cannot be silenced. It is possible to have several active Secrets at a time, but only one from each card. .

Hints:

• The Secret cards have many useful effects but, the most important of these is the ability to control the course of the battle. The enemy does not know what Secret has been used, which is why they will play carefully and restrain themselves in their movements, at the same time.
• There is no restriction set on the number of active Secrets. It is a good idea to take advantage of this, to ensure several protective layers. .

Example cards: Counterspell (3), Vaporize (3), Explosive Trap (2).
